“Bill Cosby, the “Cosby Show” star and veteran entertainer who was once awarded the highest civilian award in the United States, is facing a sexual assault charge.

The 78-year-old comedian was charged with aggravated indecent assault, a felony, Pennsylvania’s Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office announced Wednesday. The charges stem from an alleged 2004 encounter with a former Temple University employee in Cosby’s home, District Attorney-elect Kevin Steele said.

“On the evening in question, Mr. Cosby urged her to take pills that he provided to her and to drink wine, the effect of which rendered her unable to move, respond to his advances, and he committed aggravated indecent assault upon her,” Steele said at a news conference.”
